Jack Lopresti MP presents Speaker’s School Council Award

jackwa2On Friday, Jack Lopresti MP visited Winterbourne International Academy to tour around the new facilities and present the Speaker s School Council Award to  our Sixth Formers for their India Community Project.

WIA Sixth Form were selected as a runner-up in the 17-19 years category from hundreds of applications. The judges were really impressed by our project, India Community Project and congratulated all the students who were involved with the delivery of this amazing project. The judges had deliberated about the project for quite some time and we narrowly missed out on the top spot!

Jack Lopresti MP presented the certificates and a special engraved plaque to Head of Sixth Form Lucy Kirkbright, teacher Keiron Mogford, Principal Rob Evans, CEP Beverley Martin and the Sixth Form students who achieved the award.

The Speaker of the House of Commons, the Rt. Hon John Bercow and the Speaker s School Council Awards team passed on their thanks for taking part in the competition.
